NAMM 2017: This looks set to be a big year for Taylor, as the American guitar giant joins the mid-range guitar market with the Academy Series, while also unveiling the GS Mini Bass and high-end 800 Deluxe Series.

Taylor GS Mini Bass

The small-scale GS Mini Bass is notable for two key design features: custom bass strings with a nylon core and phosphor-bronze wrap wire developed by D'Addario; and a new Taylor-patented, dual-pronged bridge pin.

All that promises to make the bass easy to play, while an ES-B pickup and preamp, as well as layered sapele back and sides, solid Sitka spruce top, matt finish and hard bag round off the spec.
